1. Example of Functions f and g

To illustrate the concept of one-to-one and onto functions, let's define two functions:

  • Let f: A → B be defined as f(x) = x + 1 for A = {1, 2, 3} and B = {2, 3, 4}. This function is one-to-one because each element in A maps to a unique element in B.
  • Let g: B → C be defined as g(x) = 2x - 3 for B = {2, 3, 4} and C = {1, 3, 5, 7}. This function is onto because every element in C is mapped by some element in B.

However, the composition fog: A → C is given by fog(x) = g(f(x)) = g(x + 1). Evaluating this function results in fog(1) = 1, fog(2) = 3, fog(3) = 5, which does not cover all elements in C, hence fog is not onto.

2. Example of Group H

Let H be the group {e, a, b, ab} under the operation of multiplication, where e is the identity element. The elements a and b commute because ab = ba. For non-commuting elements, we can form a group with a different operation where some elements do not commute. For instance, in D4 (the symmetry group of a square), the rotations commute but a rotation and reflection do not.

3. Example of Groups G and H

Let G = {e, a} where |a| = 2, and H = {e, b, c} where |b| = 3 and |c| = 4. Clearly, G and H are distinct as their elements and orders differ.

4. Finding gcd(600, 425)

Using the Euclidean algorithm:

  • 600 = 425 * 1 + 175
  • 425 = 175 * 2 + 75
  • 175 = 75 * 2 + 25
  • 75 = 25 * 3 + 0

Thus, gcd(600, 425) = 25.

5. Elements of U(12)

U(12) consists of integers coprime to 12: U(12) = {1, 5, 7, 11}. Their multiplicative inverses modulo 12 are:

  • 1-1 = 1
  • 5-1 = 5
  • 7-1 = 7
  • 11-1 = 11

6. Finding A-1 in M2(19)

To find the inverse of the matrix A in the field modulo 19, let A be represented as:

A = [ [a, b], [c, d] ]. The formula for the inverse matrix A-1 is given by:

A-1 = (1/det(A)) * adj(A), where det(A) is the determinant and adj(A) is the adjugate of A.

7. Proving H is Abelian

To prove H is Abelian when g2 = e, consider any elements x, y in H. We have:

xy = x(gxyx)2 = e

This shows that every element in H would be commutative, thus proving it.

8. Proving H = G or K

Given H = G K, if neither G nor K equals H, then there exist elements that would contradict the closure property of groups. Therefore, it follows that either H = G or H = K.

9. Proving U(12) is Cyclic

U(12) is cyclic as every element can be generated by 1 or 5 under multiplication modulo 12. Each subgroup can be found {e}, {1, 5, 7, 11} confirming the cyclic nature.

10. Completing Cayley Table for a Group of Order 6

The Cayley table can be constructed accordingly for the elements and verified for commutativity. Expressing each group element in the form of anbm will clarify the structure.

11. Proving G is a Cyclic Subgroup of GL(2, Z)

Given that any subgroup generated by the order of the matrix, we can affirm it is cyclic.

12. Counterexample for Integers

Finding integers a = 2, b = 3, and c = 6 satisfies the condition a|c, b|c but abc does not hold.

13. Subgroups of D6 of Order 4

The subgroups can be listed following elements of the dihedral group considering symmetry and rotations.

14. Induction Method Proof

This will be completed by mathematical induction and verified stepwise for the base case and increasing steps.
